Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton on Friday called for Congress to end the U.S. economic embargo in Cuba and said she would make it easier for Americans to travel to the Communist-led island if she were president.
"The Cuban embargo needs to go once and for all," Clinton, the former U.S. secretary of state to President Barack Obama, said in a visit to the South Florida home city of two Republican candidates who oppose rapprochement with Havana.
Clinton also called on House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to "answer the pleas of the Cuban people" who she said want closer ties with the U.S.
